The Ministers of Citizenship and Immigration and Public Safety sought declarations that the defendant obtained his permanent resident status and Canadian citizenship by false representation or fraud or by knowingly concealing material circumstances, and that he was inadmissible to Canada for violating human or international rights.

The Court found that the defendant knowingly concealed his role as Under-Secretary for Public Security of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Bosnian Serb Republic (RS MUP) on his permanent residence application.

The Court also found reasonable grounds to believe the defendant was a senior official in a government that engaged in crimes against humanity and was complicit in those crimes.
